NOS is an acceptable HP option IMO. The issues are the more you use the more you want to up the level and sooner or later... bang. There's a hole in that plastic intake manifold. If you can keep it under control and have a good bottle refill supplier, no troubles, easier and a lot less costly. Most want a Nitro Funny car type of pull coming off the line and you aren't getting that NOS or a SC. Buy another rig right.

Judging from the pics of the custom ****y muffler and oil spray noted on the fuel tank I would be safe to assume there is going to be some over staitments here.......LOL




Second, the issues with NOS'ing a 6.7L and a 4.7L are two different puppies.

Third, I think this guy modded a 360 into a 408.

Forth and final, I run an un-verified 852 hp because I have stickers!

Hey,I hope I didn't start a catfish noodlin contest with that link...
I found a link with the low down and high points of 4.7 engine...
I still think nos is the lowest priced and safest if installed properly on a stock motor vs other power adders,since you will be less likely to activate it on say a winding road where as a blower or turbo can kick in at the worst times especially if your right foot has tourrete's syndrome

^ LOL ^ ........DRO318

There always a little fun to be poked........ so......poke, poke, poke

Anyway, putting a turbo on a OEM 4.7L isn't the best thing to do as well as NOS without beafing things up.
